RuyiMedicDiary: Hello Tunmex, As a graduate of Anatomy and a 4th Year Medic gearing up for 5th Year soon, I really can't speak for everyone. But based on my experience, using this your method will make revision for exams easy for you as you'll have a comprehensive note to fall back to..,,,, the downside of this is that it can make you to be very slow. You may end up not completing the course outline even once.
My suggestion is to study like as if you're meeting a potential "girlfriend". You go on "dates" with her just to get to know her better. The more dates you go with her, the more familiar you both become. When you eventually ask her to be your girlfriend, there is a high chance of receiving a huge YES.
SAME thing applies to whatever I'm studying. I go on "dates" by using a fast study technique to study that material several times. All 3 times I'm studying, the aim isn't to understand, but to get familiar with the diagrams, the terms, the strange words. This will help you to have a mental picture of the whole material.
By the time exam timetable is out, with the help of adrenaline, understanding will be made wayyyy easier if you're already familiar with the terms, diagrams and strange words.
Study anatomy with atlas. Use YouTube as well.
I've uploaded comprehensive videos that will help you if you're interested in a deep explanation of all this.
In summary, Medical school doesn't have only one formula. Try out several methods, ask other medics how they do their studying. Stick to what is working for you. Once you find out it's not working, don't waste time,,,, switch to another strategy IMMEDIATELY!
Hello Doc Ruyi, good day. I will like to ask if such method is also applicable to non medical course like botany, considering the fact that it is not as bulky as Medicine. Coz I do find it stressful and demanding taking notes while reading a material for the first time, what do you suggest? Thanks alot
